Automobile "sun visor slip covers"

Abstract

A slip cover for use with an automobile sun visor includes a deformable hollow body that has an opening through which the sun visor moves to be encased by the cover. The cover body includes portions that are heat shrinkable and portions that are stretchable. Heat from a hand-held hair dryer, or the like, is applied to the cover to shrink those heat-shrinkable portions to securely encase the sun visor. Indicia, such as advertising material or the like can be placed on the slip cover.

I claim: 
     
       1. A cover for use on an automobile sun visor having a length and a width, comprising: a monolithic hollow body which includes end edges and side edges and which is formed of stretchable material that is heat shrinkable upon application of warm air from an element such as a hand-held hair dryer in selected locations, with such selected locations being located only adjacent to said body end edges with areas between said end edges being resistant to heat-induced shrinking, said body having an unstretched and unshrunk shape that corresponds to a shape of an automobile sun visor and having an elongated opening defined through one end edge thereof,   said body material being a plastic wrap type material that is stretchably deformed to permit the sun visor to be inserted into the hollow body through the opening, and being shrinkable upon the application of warm air thereto to the dimensions of the sun visor positioned inside said body to snugly encase such sun visor,   said opening extending from one of said side edges to a location spaced from the other of said side edges and being smaller than the width of the sun visor so that the cover must be deformed to permit the sun visor to pass through said opening into said hollow body;   fabric material fixed to said body in the area between said selected locations, said fabric material including pockets.   
     
     
       2. The cover defined in claim 1 further including closure fasteners on said pockets. 
     
     
       3. The cover defined in claim 1 where the opening is closable by application of heat or by use of a sealing material which is fusable to said body material. 
     
     
       4. The cover defined in claim 3 wherein said fusible material fuses upon application of warm air thereto.
